AYOIDINa THE BUSH. How can we prepare our plant baskets and jardinieres or boxes for the holi- days before the rush starts and still keep the plants in good growthf Use wooden vessels inside your jardi- nieres. Belect for baskets square boxes and have liners of thin wood instead of tin. Provide ornamental boxes and in them wooden inserts. In these wooden inserts plants can be placed four, five or six weeks before the holidays, left in the greenhouse and shipped to the store when needed. There they are slipped into their outside covering and are ready for sale. Plants in wooden vessels grow as well as in pots when rough, porous wood is used. GROWING GABDENIAS.
